What is delamination/Peeling?
Delamination is thed detached, slate-like surface layering of the polymer as it fills and packs the
plastic injection mould tools. With this defect, different unconnected layers of plastic develop and form within
the plastic injection molded parts. , e.g. due to cross cutting. usually not easy to identify since the surface is flawless; a “skin” can often be pulled off when the surface is scratched with a blade. The molded
plastic product exhibits bubbling after warm storage.
The cause of delamination
- High shear stresses result in the formation of layerseven in compatible multiphase systems during injection molding process.
- Contamination with an incompatible thermoplastic or master batch
- Sharp Corner around the injection gate and runner in the plastic injection mold
Correction
- Increase the melt temperature and reduce the injection speed.
- Avoid contamination due to extraneous material or due to an unsuitable master batch (specifically the carrier)
- Channge all shapr corners to be round corner.
